Transforming Condemned Urban Trees into Beautiful Wooden Bikes

Posted on May 11, 2012 12:00am PDT

Woodworking is something we’re passionate about here at Southern Lumber, so we find a lot of joy in seeing others use their woodworking skills to build something cool and unique. That’s why we really love this video featuring Bill Holloway and Mauro Hernandez from Masterworks Woodworking in San Jose, right down the street from Souther Lumber!

Bill and Mauro build custom beach cruiser bicycles from reclaimed urban wood from dead or dying trees. These wooden bikes are as beautiful as they are unique and include the histories of the trees they were built from. In this video, you’ll learn a little more about Bill and Mauro’s passion for lumber and where they draw their inspiration from.
